Day 2

Our first full day! It was a packed day, but filled with fun. We woke up around 8:00, and then went and had a delicious breakfast in the "refectory," as they call it here. The food is outstanding -- comparable to St. Olaf, which is really nice. After breakfast we had a mini-adventure finding the classroom, and made it in time for our class which began at 9. In class we discussed what the professors would be looking for in our reviews, some frequently used theatre terms, and we heard previews of show we would see later that night, War Horse, and the New London Theatre, where it is currently playing. More on War Horse in the following post. Needless to say, it was outstanding.
After class a few of us went out on a walk down Baker Street, stopped in to exchange some money and went in a few shops. We also walked around the park for awhile and I got some nice pictures, which you can see on Facebook. After lunch we embarked on a bus tour with a fantastic tour guide who was literally a walking encyclopedia. She knew every date you could imagine, and rattled off the history of England's royal family like it was her shopping list. We saw many of the major sites in London, and it was a great time. After returning to Regents, I took a short nap before heading to dinner and getting ready for the show. Still adjusting to the new time zone a bit, but by tomorrow I should be back to normal.
As I said I will be making a post exclusively about War Horse following this one, so stay tuned for that. Today, we are seeing Men Should Weep and Master Builder. Will let you know how those are soon!

Cheers!
